The third installment of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 17 averaged
1.2 million viewers for its Tuesday night broadcast on cable
network FX.

Sherdog.com verified the figure with an industry source, who also
confirmed that the show drew a 0.92 household rating. The average
viewership marks another slight decline for the series, which
attracted 1.5 and 1.27 million viewers in its first two weeks.

Episode three of “TUF 17” delivered a crushing knockout to close
the hour-long program, as Team Sonnen’s Uriah Hall
buried Team Jones’ Adam Cella
with a spinning heel kick. After several tense moments, during
which the welfare of Cella was unknown, the fallen fighter finally
came around. Though Cella regaining consciousness elicited a round
of applause from everyone in the UFC training facility, the
middleweight nonetheless took a ride to the hospital for
precautionary reasons.
